'These novels, in straddling immediacy and permanence, the personal as well as the scope of a world tilting toward disaster, are the ones we might well be looking back on years from now as the defining literature of an indefinable era. And the shape the telling takes is, if not salvation, brilliance itself' - The New York Times on the Seasonal quartet so far

WINNER OF THE ORWELL PRIZE WINNER OF IRISH BOOK OF THE YEAR SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE 'The most important work of contemporary reporting I have ever read' SALLY ROONEY The treatment of refugees has become one of the most devastating human rights disasters in our history. In this book, award-winning journalist Sally Hayden unfolds a staggering investigation into the migrant crisis across North Africa. This book follows the experiences of refugees, telling a range of shocking and eye-opening human stories. But it also surveys the bigger picture: the negligence of NGOs and corruption within the United Nations. The economics of the twenty-first-century slave trade and the EU's bankrolling of Libyan militias. The trials of people smugglers, the frustrations of aid workers, the loopholes refugees seek out and the role of social media in crowdfunding ransoms. Who was accountable for the abuse? Where were the people finding solutions? Why wasn't it being widely reported? At its heart, this is a book about people who have made unimaginable choices, risking everything to survive in a system that wants them to be silent and disappear.

Olivia Jefferson has always been a good little automaton. At least, that's what her best friend Angela had always told her. She was a dutiful daughter, straight A student, and a devoted friend. 
But when Angela dies at seventeen of terminal brain cancer, Olivia's automaton life gets turned upside down. She made a promise that she would finish Angela's bucket list for her.
 But number one is to go on the scariest ride at the County Fair, Hell's Hurricane, and number two is to go on a Grand Adventure. Both seem impossible.

Deciding to abandon her well planned future, Olivia follows the carnival along the bottom States, from Florida to LA.
